Jiang Zemin Inspects Beijing Enterprise
President Jiang Zemin, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, has urged all Party members and leading officials to adhere to the mass line.
"Whatever we do and whatever great causes we undertake, we Communists must work for the masses and rely on the masses," he said.
The president made the remarks Monday in an inspection tour to a number of enterprises and households in Beijing, the national capital. He was accompanied by Vice Premier Li Lanqing, Alternate Member of the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau Zeng Qinghong, Secretary of the Beijing Municipal CPC Committee Jia Qinglin and Beijing Mayor Liu Qi.
During the tour, Jiang also urged Party members and leading officials to further strengthen their sense of responsibility and mission, have both an ambitious goal and a down-to-earth style of work, blaze new trails in their work, and greet the 80th anniversary of the CPC with outstanding achievements.
The president asked Party committees and governments at various levels to care for the people, particularly the needy, on the eve of the Spring Festival, the traditional Chinese Lunar New Year that falls on January 24 this year.
After hearing a report by Jia, the president said Beijing has witnessed sound progress in its reform and development, with fast growth in the economy and high-tech industry. Great changes have taken place in the national capital.
During the tour, Jiang also visited living quarters of workers and expressed his concern about their living conditions. While talking to the family of retired railway worker Li Changjiu, Jiang expressed his respect to the Li's for their contribution to the railway industry.
Jiang also paid a visit to the Legend Group, one of the largest computer companies in China, and heard a report from Lu Yongxiang, president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences on the development of the high-tech industry.
In his talks with Lu, the president urged the academy to use its expertise to make a greater contribution to the development of the high-tech industry in China.
In the new century, development remains the main theme for China's reform and development, Jiang said. Development calls for constant exploration of new ways of thinking, he noted.
Beijing is strong in the fields of science and technology, personnel, intelligence and information, which form a solid foundation for the development of the high-tech industry, he said.
The president also said that Beijing should make utmost efforts to protect local historic and cultural relics while modernizing the old part of the downtown area.
